The KaimiIoa Boys.

On Tuesday morning last, when nearly
everybody had reluctantly come to the con-
clusion that they were about to see the last
of the "pride of the nation"-the wonderful
Kaimiloa and her gallant Captain-the news
was sprung upon them, like clap of thun-
der from a clear sky, that serious and dis
graceful row had occurred on board the
noble ship during the night, and that all dis
cipline had suddenly wilted down to zero.
OF course there were all sorts of yarns ahoat
as to what was the matter, but the real naked
truth was that the boys were having good
time, with plenty of "sand-paper gin" and
other etceteras to keep their spirits up.
In seems that between and 10 O'Clock in
the evening Acting Sub-Leut. Kaluahine,
who had become somewhat oblivious, and
forgot that he was an officer in the Kings
navy, had gone down forward with the boys,
where they had the best "stuff," and was
having a glorious time. This little defec-
tion from the "Rules" WIS noticed by a
MILDLY, and the gay and festive Acting Sub
Lieutenant was reprimanded for lowering
himself SO much as to be seen drinking with
common sailors in the forecastle, and ordered
to go to his room. Kaluahine told the
officers to go to Sheol, buckled on his sword,
called to the marines to "fall i'm which they
did, and proceeded to make it warm for
those who had interfered with him and his
'pals'' Lieut.. Macdonald then appeared
subsequently ordered him under arrest.
Shortly after he was released by the Sergeant
of Marines, who was also "bilin' drunk. y
! The marines we're again ordered to fall i'm
by Kaluahine, and did SO. They imme-
diately proceeded to put things to rights
about the ship, and marched to the cabin,
where four of the officers were enjoying a
little "lunch,'' and ordered the lights put
out. Lieut.. Macdonald ordered him out of
the room, and while in the act of climbing
up the companionway Kaluahine fell down
| into the hold.
One of the Quartermasters then called a
| boats crew and pulled for shore, followed in
another boat by Lieut.. Macdonald and Chief
Engineer Thiron, who on landing proceeded
to Paymaster Webb's, informing him that
| they had got enough of the navy and Capt
jackson, and did not want to 90 to sea in
that ship with such a crew. On their return
! to the landing they met Capt. jackson, hav-
ing been summoned by telephone, who
promptly ordered their arrest, sending Mac
! donald on board and Thiron to the station
house. the latter having a pistol in his
/ pocket. Tie balance of the officers, it is
! said, were q little too much under the
weather" to 60 anywhere, and quietly lay
! down on the deck and went TO sleep.
In the forenoon Macdonald, Thiron and
| Kaluahine were Officially notified by the
! Secretary of War and the Navy, that by com.
mand of the King they were dismissed, and
! that their services were no longer required
as officers in H. H. Ms navy, their com
missions being cancelled.
! Lieut.. Sam Maikai takes Macdonald's
| place as First Sub-Lieutenant, and G.. n
| Kaulukau, of the Kings Guard, has been ap
| pointed Acting Sub-lieutenant, vice Kalua
| hine dismissed. First Assistant Engineer
! Lind assumes the post of Chief, vice Thiron
The Kaimiloa sailed on Wednesday morn
| ing about O'Clock, with three of her prin
cipaI Lieutenants recruited from the army
| This is, perhaps, the first time in history
| where an average army officer who has seer
no active service, has been promoted to
| position of Lieutenant IN the navy, anC
! whose only seagoing knowledge consists IL
being able to splice the mainbrace.n Under
| these circumstances 1t will be fortunate p
| if the Honolulu public ever lays eyes on thi!
unique specimen of naval architecture anC
